Nepo baby with Harry Potter star dad and Hollywood A-list mum turns 20 – can you guess who her famous parents are?
A NEPO baby with a very famous family tree recently celebrated her 20th birthday. With stunning model looks and an air of nonchalance one can only achieve from being a sprog of the rich and well-connected, once you discover who Gracie's A-list parents are, you'll kick yourself for not seeing it sooner. 7 7 Gracie, 20, might have two acting parents but so far it seems she's determined to carve out a career as a talented musician. Posting to one of her Instagram accounts, she shared a snap of her grandfather and wrote: "Love letter to my guitar - My Grandad bought me my first guitar in Prague when I was 8 years old. "I'd go out wearing it on my back to show it off because I was so proud… Since then, there is rarely a day that goes by where I don't play it. I love my Guitar and I love my Grandad even more." So who are Gracie's parents? Her dad is British acting legend, emotionally rich, and familiar to fans of the wizarding world as werewolf Remus Lupin. Meanwhile, her mum, despite a long and successful career in gritty dramas and blockbuster movies, will forever be known to some as Brookside's ground-breaking character, Beth Jordache. Drumroll… Meet Gracie Ellen Mary Friel – born 9 July 2005 – the only daughter of Marcella star Anna Friel, 48, and Harry Potter alum David Thewlis, 62. Sharing a carousel of snaps to her social media, Gracie's mum Anna wrote: "Our darling Gracie , 20 years of you. We are the luckiest parents , you make us proud everyday. "Your beautiful kind soul, your intelligence, your creativity, your understanding your amazing mind blowing talent your passion for everything in life, your patience and calm your loving loving heart, your rare and unique beauty, your song bird voice." The tribute continued: "Your gratitude, your sense of value, your moral compass and most of all your love your beautiful love that walks and sings around you with every breath you take. "Quite simply - you are adored and you are so very , very very loved. Thank you for a wonderful decade, here is to the next. Fly boo boo fly." Underneath, a fan penned: "Definitely no need for a paternity test! An equal mix of 2 incredible actors and imo one if the most beautiful women in the world." Actors Anna and David met in 2001 while on a flight to Cannes, and instantly clicked. The couple then welcomed baby Gracie in July 2005. They stayed together for nearly a decade, splitting in late 2010 amid busy schedules and long-distance strains – Anna acknowledged they 'grew apart' and agreed 'this isn't working any more'. Still, they remain incredibly close and co‑parents – Anna said, "He's a great dad and lives just across the road… We're the best of friends." After splitting, Anna dated Rhys Ifans from 2011 to 2014, and praised him for being 'a companion in crime' to Gracie. The actress has previously stated that she isn't putting pressure on herself to get into a relationship, instead drawing inspiration from Helen Mirren, who married Taylor Hackford when she was 48. Meanwhile, David got married to French artist Hermine Poitou in 2016. 7 7 7 7 7
